Foil 4 Notes on Primary Memory $

From Some Numerical Memory and MicroProcessor Projections for PetaFlops JNAC (PetaFlops) Presentation -- August 28,1996. by Peter Kogge Notre Dame
$ are chip costs along (packaging, cooling, "batteries" extra)
  • Thus 10 TB in 1998 technology is $100M
"% of Petaflops Apps" refers to Bodega Bay Applications
  • Thus somewhat more than 50% of Bodega Bay apps require less than 1 TB for execution
Real systems probably require some multiple of this memory for next app preload, I/O buffers, etc.
